CRASH LANDING ON YOU
ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
Life
is full of surprises.
You can't be sure of anything in life.
Just tell him what I told you to say.
Hello?
-It's me. -Where are you?
Why did you call? Just come home.
By the way, whose phone is this?
I'm leaving now.
To where?
Come on.
I told you already that I'll be leaving with Gu Seung-jun.
You'll be leaving right now?
Yes.
It turned out that way.
I'm leaving sooner than expected.
Where are you right now? I'll be there.
No.
I've already left in a car.
I'm sorry.
I left without even saying goodbye to you.
But we've said goodbye many times, you know.
So saying it one more time might be pointless.
You're wrong.
I know we've said it
many times before, but we still need to say our last goodbyes.
We do need to say it again.
So tell me where you are right now.
Don't hang up!
Listen to me.
Tell me what you see. I can find you.
Jeong Hyeok.
I love you.
Let's go!
The person you have reached is not available.
GU SEUNG-JUN
The phone is either turned off or out of the service area and cannot be reached.
Jeong Hyeok? You need to come home now.
-My gosh. -What's going on?
What is happening?
There he is.
Jeong Hyeok.
The State Security Department is searching your house now.
-Gosh. -I think they're looking for Sam Suk.
Are we all thinking the same thing now?
He's fuming mad, but that only makes him even more attractive.
-Exactly. -Right?
You're here, Ri Jeong Hyeok.
The higher-ups ordered me to do this.
Where did the lady from Division 11 go?
We need to take her with us.
-What for? -I know everything.
That bitch does not belong to Division 11.
She is just living proof
I can use to completely destroy you, your father, and your entire family.
Making people spill the truth is my specialty, so don't you worry.
Whether I beat her up to a pulp
or burn her skin with electrical torture, she'll talk after three or four...
I told you
that a thing or a person is bound to change all the time.
You little shit.
You're finished.
Take him.
-My gosh! -They're taking him?
-Captain Ri, are you all right? -My goodness.
-Oh, no. -Make way!
-Why are they taking him? -Jeong Hyeok!
-My gosh. -What do we do?
Jeong Hyeok! What should we do?
-Gosh! -My goodness.
Gosh, what the heck is happening?
Shouldn't we tell them?
Can we really let them take him?
-What do we do? -What do we do?
Gosh, Jeong Hyeok!
I must pull myself together and focus.
Think, whatever it is.
Yes, I should think happy thoughts.
Something that makes me happy.
Jeong Hyeok boiling noodles.
Jeong Hyeok who didn't know the difference between candles and scented candles.
But now he knows the difference.
Jeong Hyeok who covers me with a blanket
on his way to get himself a glass of water.
I'll see you off.
-No need. -All is well.
I'll be fine after taking medication and going to bed.
I'm fine.
Jeong Hyeok who always lies
and says that he's fine even though everything is going astray.
Then you'll be safe. As long as you stay in my sight.
Tell me what you see. I can find you.
Does he think he's a superhero or what?
He always says that he can do anything and find me no matter where I am.
Jeong Hyeok likes to talk bullshit and bluff.
I miss you.
CRASH LANDING ON YOU
Where am I?
Hello? Is anybody there?
Is anyone outside? Hello?
Right.
They wouldn't have locked me up here
if they were going to let me out.
Some bastards
abducted me and locked me up here.
Why didn't they kill me?
What are they after?
Are they watching me right now?
Who are you?
RUN AWAY AND YOU DIE! LET'S BUILD A STRONG SOCIALIST COUNTRY
As you probably know,
it's not easy for regular soldiers like us to come here.
But my childhood friend just so happens to be
working as a high-ranking officer at this detention center.
I don't think he deserves to take credit for it though.
I agree.
I mean, whose fault is it to begin with?
Dan's mother came by the other day.
Master Sergeant Pyo got drunk that day and told her everything about Se-ri.
I mean, not everything about her.
I heard her mother is a rich businesswoman who owns a department store in Pyongyang.
Maybe she hired some people to track Se-ri down and did something to her.
Hey, no way.
I've seen it so many times in those South Korean dramas.
When someone interferes with their kid's wedding,
the rich in the South either splash water on that person's face or give money.
But the rich here are tougher,
so maybe she abducted her to teach her a lesson.
Captain Ri, that lady didn't seem like she could do such a thing.
I'm warning you.
Don't do anything you're going to regret.
Comrades.
I need you to do something for me.
Only after getting locked up,
you called me and said you wanted to see me
for the first time ever.
That woman is gone.
So?
You must know something about it.
Who did it?
Where was she taken to?
And is she
-okay? -How ridiculous.
Your wedding is in a few days,
but you're worried about another woman.
You look as if you've lost everything.
This is actually good.
You should stay locked up here until the day of our wedding
and just come out on that day.
I'll see you then.
Is it my father?
You told me not to do anything I'll regret.
Whom did you ask for help to make me regret my actions?
It can't be the State Security Department.
And there's no way your mother did it.
Did you
meet my father?
Did my father
-take her? That woman-- -That's right. She's dead.
You won't ever find her.
So you should just give up.
Go and tell my father.
If he hurts or harms her in any way,
he'll lose even the only son he has left for good.
You'd better tell him.
IDEOLOGICAL DISCIPLINE
Should I have gone in with you?
How's Jeong Hyeok holding up?
Director Ri doesn't know about this yet, right?
How did he end up in the detention center?
-He'll be furious when he finds out. -Just leave him.
What?
Hey, your wedding is just around the corner.
I have to keep him there
to marry him.
I'm not following at all. Can you elaborate?
U Pil.
-Dad. -Gosh.
What brings you here?
Yesterday, some men came and took that pretty lady from the South.
And she dropped this.
U Pil.
Have you shown this to anyone else?
Don't tell anyone about this, okay?
Okay, Dad.
Will she be okay though?
They say you never know what someone is really thinking.
We've known him for a long time. I can't believe he fooled us all along.
I don't understand Captain Ri.
He's not the type to brag about his family background.
-Exactly. -Still.
This is huge news. How could he keep it from us?
Captain Ri's father is the Director of the General Political Bureau?
I still can't believe it.
Director Ri won't sit still if he finds out
that his dear son is locked up in the detention center.
Shouldn't we tell him?
Captain Ri told us not to tell anyone,
so keep your lips sealed.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Everyone probably heard it, right?
I think you were a little too quiet.
It'd look suspicious if we were chatting about it loudly.
But will that be enough for the word to spread?
Hey.
You don't need 100 bees to get 100 flowers to bloom.
It will only take half a day for it to reach everyone in this area.
But the problem is,
whether or not it's true.
There's something else I need you to do.
Spread rumors about my family background,
that my father is the Director
of the General Political Bureau.
I don't think he'll get me out of here even if he finds out that I'm here.
I want to spread rumors to find a way to get out, so I need your help.
I told you.
He must've hurt his head when he got shot.
Don't worry, Master Sergeant Pyo.
All of it is true.
I don't have time.
The rumors must reach the Senior Colonel as quickly as possible.
His father is the Director of the General Political Bureau?
What if it's complete bullshit and we got fooled?
Shouldn't you know him better by now? He'd never do that.
His father is the Director of the General Political Bureau?
That's right. My husband
heard his colleagues talk about it.
I have to say, there was
something different about him.
I mean, his looks alone are revolutionary.
And the way he talks and walks.
I always thought he looked too confident for a captain.
-Exactly. -Yes, totally.
To be honest, when I saw his broad shoulders,
I knew that he was special.
-His shoulders? -Yes.
Think about it.
He can show off those broad shoulders because someone's got his back.
If he'd ever been intimidated by anyone since he was little,
he wouldn't have such incredibly broad shoulders.
-She has a point. -That's a good theory.
-Right? -Good point.
DEMILITARIZED ZONE
A deserter from Stakeout Squad 31.
-A deserter from Stakeout Squad 31. -It's an emergency!
-An emergency! -A deserter from Stakeout Squad 31.
A deserter from Stakeout Squad 31.
What? Another deserter?
Tell everyone to be on standby. Where is Lieutenant Commander Cho?
Pyongyang?
Why at this critical time?
"Spy education"?
Goodness. Fine.
-Could you prepare my dinner now? -I heard about it.
About what?
Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok.
I heard he went to the detention center.
Young people these days have no respect.
I mean, he defied his superior. What was he thinking?
That punk won't be seeing any sunlight for a while.
Have you ever wondered
why Captain Ri was being disrespectful?
It's because he's got no morals, of course.
He was the one who tipped off the Trial Bureau,
which is why Cho Cheol Gang and I were investigated.
He kept digging around and it was one hell of a headache.
Why do you think he's got so much nerve
to poke around, dig around, and nose around?
You keep beating around the bush.
Just tell me what your point is.
Have you
ever met the Director of the General Political Bureau?
How can I meet such a high officer?
Why? Does anyone have the connection?
There was, indeed.
But someone just cut it off.
Who did that? What kind of a psycho would do that?
-It was you! -Gosh! What's wrong?
Ri Jeong Hyeok was born with the connection
to the Director of the General Political Bureau.
What? How does he have the connection?
Ri Jeong Hyeok is the son of the Director of the General Political Bureau!
What?
I told you to give him the Preferential Star.
But you just gave it to a random man.
What? He can't see sunlight?
Your life is never going to see sunlight now.
What are you going to do now? Tell me!
Where are you going?
Who are you?
What are you doing?
Have some tea.
It's pine mushroom tea.
It smells good, and I appreciate it
but I won't drink it.
It's not like I was invited here as a guest.
I won't just drink whatever you tell me to drink.
I'm not that dumb.
Where do you think you are?
You're her father, right?
You don't have to be surprised.
You look just like Ms. Seo Dan.
Your mouth, nose,
and especially
your glaring eyes
look just like hers.
-Is that so? -Yes.
I'm quicker and more sensitive than others at this kind of thing.
I see.
To be honest, when I was first dragged here,
I was so upset and wondered who would do this,
but now I get it.
You get it?
You think I'm in the way of your daughter.
You think I'm coming between the two,
and I totally understand.
Okay. Then tell me.
What was your purpose of approaching Ri Jeong Hyeok
and staying with him?
"Purpose"? That's absolutely unfair.
I am
a pure victim of a second of the military gap
created by a momentary error of the defense system
of the South and North Korea
caused by a strong and unexpected storm.
-What? -It was an accident.
Sir, please think about it.
I'm running a company in South Korea.
It's not just a tiny store but an enormous fashion company.
This might sound like bragging, but we have 14 branches abroad.
So for what purpose would I come here
to put myself in trouble?
I am just
an innocent citizen of Seoul who has been worrying
about what I should do with all that money
and if I will ever get to use all the money before I die.
And Ri Jeong Hyeok helped me out of humanity.
So are you saying Ri Jeong Hyeok caused all this?
What? No.
That's not what I meant.
He hasn't done anything wrong.
I'm telling you. He didn't do anything wrong.
I want to make that clear at least.
He didn't do anything wrong?
He hid an unidentified person from South Korea.
At first, he tried to report me.
But I threatened him.
"If you report me, I will tell them
you and your men did a poor job at guarding."
So he had to make
an inevitable decision for his subordinates.
So is that all about your relationship?
To be honest,
I liked Ri Jeong Hyeok
a lot.
It just happened. I'm so sorry.
He didn't like me back though. It was one-sided. You don't need to worry.
He must be thinking I'm back in my country now.
I'm sure he doesn't care at all.
So, sir,
please help me.
Me?
You hired some men to kidnap me.
Obviously, you have some power. That's why I'm asking.
Please be generous
and help me go home in one piece.
Actually, you know, Ri Jeong Hyeok is just a captain.
He doesn't have any power.
If you help me this time,
I promise to return your favor.
Sir!
Are you kidding me?
I've been training myself with intermittent fasting.
I won't swallow a single grain of rice here.
I'm sorry.
You haven't eaten anything today.
If you think the food is poisoned, I can try it for you.
Who are you?
Actually,
that doesn't matter.
Why did you bring me here?
I'm sorry,
but we can't help it either.
The food is safe. You can eat it.
Wait.
Could you tell me
if Ri Jeong Hyeok is...
doing all right?
I don't want him to be in trouble
or be punished because of me.
That's the last thing I want.
Do you like him so much?
Well...
That's not it.
It's unhealthy for a woman to stay in a cold room like this.
You should sleep here tonight.
By the way,
who is the owner of this room?
I believe one's bookshelves
tell the person's personality,
character, and taste.
And these books
remind me of someone I know.
Dan, what was the room number?
You're not
Seo Dan's mother, are you?
Are you Jeong Hyeok's mother?
THE DAUGHTER OF QUEENS AND THE CEO OF SE-RI'S CHOICE DIES
MYEONGSEONG DAILY NEWS
She's a daughter of a rich family and was registered dead.
Why on earth did she come here and meet my son?
You must not send her back.
If she goes back to South Korea, it will create a big buzz.
It will cause something you need to take responsibility for.
The Military Director seems to be up to something too.
We don't have enough time.
Just give me an order
and I will take her out tonight and take care of her quietly.
Not at such a late hour.
Excuse me, sir?
My wife keeps insisting that we should let her get some sleep at least.
Oh, well.
Let's wait and see for now.
Goodness, Jeong Hyeok.
Were you a child actor?
You look so handsome among other kids. That's just unfair.
Look at the handwriting.
So cute.
I WANT TO BE A WORLD-FAMOUS PIANIST
Did you want
to become a pianist?
But...
you ended up being a soldier.
Sir,
I can let you visit him, but bailing is a whole different matter.
You're the head of the detention center.
Bailing shouldn't be a big deal for you.
He assaulted his superior,
who was Battalion Security Officer.
It was the worst kind of mutiny.
The State Security Department is pretty upset about it.
You can't make it to the main position if you're slow like that.
Captain Ri's father is...
My legs are still shaky. I have no idea how I made it here.
As a matter of fact, as the head of the detention center,
I did have fundamental doubts about whether it was an assault case.
-Right? -An assault is
supposed to be done with this.
It means to hit with a fist.
Doesn't it mean to hit and beat?
No.
It can be called an assault only when someone is beaten by a fist.
And?
It sounded like Captain Ri hit him with his hand open.
That's what I heard, I believe.
-Then it wasn't an assault. -No, it wasn't.
Where's Ri Jeong Hyeok, the poor man who is behind bars for no reason?
I shall bring him with me.
RUN AWAY AND YOU DIE! LET'S BUILD A STRONG SOCIALIST COUNTRY
I'm sure you have learned some lessons from this.
First,
all kinds of things can happen in life.
Second, whenever that happens,
come to me.
You should have called me first.
You should correct your mistake, okay?
Okay.
All right. You've been through a lot. So take a good rest for the next days.
My wife said she prepared a feast.
So come to my place.
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Okay.
What is it?
Tell me.
I'll put the white radish salad here because it's his favorite.
Come on.
Put it here.
-Senior Colonel, you're back. -Hi.
Oh, my. Welcome.
Why are you alone? Where is Jeong Hyeok?
I don't know. He said he had to hurry somewhere.
By the way, he asked me for a weird favor.
What favor?
Jeong Hyeok must have gotten his cooking skills from you.
Did Jeong Hyeok
make noodles for you?
Yes, he made me great noodles
and nice coffee too.
He must have gotten the kind heart from you.
Jeong Hyeok, what do you think? If you think it's too rushed...
It's an old promise.
I must keep it.
Jeong Hyeok used to be a sweet boy,
but he changed at some point.
He has become cold and wouldn't let anyone be with him.
But you just said he's kind.
I'm glad to hear that.
Where is she?
Who?
You know who I'm talking about.
I know you took that woman.
-Where is she? -Where should I hide?
Don't worry and just tell him you don't know anything.
I have...
troubled his life too much already.
I don't want to see him again.
I will cry if I see him.
Is there
a basement or something?
Is she
dead?
Did you kill her?
Tell me!
Do you not worry about your future?
I do.
That's why I'm doing this.
I don't want to constantly look back on this day
and be regretful in the future. That's why.
"I could've protected her if I'd been faster.
I could have saved her if I'd done a better job."
I don't want to be thinking like that.
You know how miserable it is to live a life like that.
Mu Hyeok.
On my way back home, I couldn't even breathe.
I was worried I might have put her in trouble.
If something happens to her,
I'll be living in hell until the day I die.
Breathe, Jeong Hyeok.
Why can't you breathe?
We can't let our son live in a living hell.
Jeong Hyeok.
You talk well.
I have never seen you talk so much.
What happened to your face?
Did you get hurt again?
I'm okay.
You always say you're okay.
Who did this to you?
I'm sorry I'm late.
Don't say that.
I'm the one who is sorry.
It's because of me.
I'm always the trouble.
You're not trouble.
If only I hadn't come here...
Don't say that.
That's not true.
So...
Did yelling at my face make you feel better?
You should apologize to your father.
You are the one who caused trouble.
You can't yell at your father like that. That's just rude.
Are you siding with him now?
Are you proud of what you did?
No, that's not what I meant.
If you had told me that you found out about her--
If I did, would you have let me see her?
You're hiding that woman and risking our family's safety!
But it's all my fault.
She didn't do anything wrong.
But she said it's all her fault.
She said she threatened you,
so you couldn't report her to the State Security Department.
What...
That's not true.
I didn't care about the threat.
It was my own decision not to report her.
Why?
I didn't want her to be hurt.
I couldn't trust the State Security Department.
Who knows what would have happened to her in there?
She could have been hurt, used,
or disappeared into thin air.
I wasn't sure that was not going to happen.
That's why I couldn't send her there.
Jeong Hyeok.
Goodness.
This is unbelievable.
Get out of my sight.
Sure.
We were in the middle of a meal. Come and join us.
Jeez.
Oh, this? I'm okay.
I got into a scuffle with guys from the State Security Department.
Even now, I can't go back to the guest lodge. I'm in hotel now.
I didn't ask.
What did you order?
I haven't eaten anything the whole day, and I'm hungry.
What's up? You're scaring me.
Do you know when I first met Jeong Hyeok?
I don't, but I'm really not interested.
I mean it. I didn't ask and I'm not interested.
It was when I was 17.
We were
going to the same school.
The right side isn't waxed well.
Rub harder.
-Rub harder. -Rub harder.
Isn't that Jeong Hyeok?
Where?
-Where? -You're in the middle of cleaning.
You must see this.
Hurry over.
You can't see Jeong Hyeok play basketball every day.
Who is Jeong Hyeok?
Don't you know him?
He got three grand prizes at the National Art Competition
and he's preparing for the Tchaikovsky Competition now.
That's awesome.
He's so cool.
Since then,
I couldn't get him out of my head.
Although we never talked to each other,
I believed we knew each other.
So our families arranged our engagement,
and I excitedly flew to Switzerland,
where Jeong Hyeok was studying.
-Bye. -Bye.
Jeong Hyeok.
Dan?
I heard about you from my father.
-We went to Geumseong Middle-- -It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
"Nice to meet you"?
It wasn't his first time seeing me.
Even a street dog would recognize someone
whom it passed by so many times.
I knew him first.
I knew him before she got to know him.
I met him first and I liked him first. Does that not matter?
You're a fool.
Things like that don't matter at all.
Hey, enough. How many shots did you have?
Do I look drunk to you?
Yes.
How did you know that, you punk?
You're not that stupid after all.
Ms. Seo, I can accept that you talk down to me,
-but you can't just cuss at me-- -Hey.
-Yes? -I can do whatever I want.
I can't understand.
What do you mean?
Why doesn't Jeong Hyeok like an attractive woman like you?
-What? -Don't you ever cuss with that mouth.
That's just my type.
You make my heart flutter.
Now, enough.
You have
a good eye, don't you?
You're not bad.
Right? I'm not bad.
What's the point though?
You were dumped by that woman.
If you hadn't gotten dumped,
things wouldn't have gone this bad.
What are you saying? I wasn't dumped.
You were the one...
What?
Who are you?
-Please excuse me. -Who are you?
Hey.
You can sleep over.
Are you out of your mind?
Shut your mouth.
The whole neighborhood is listening.
Goodness!
I'm sure you just saw something.
Yes, I did see something.
I just don't remember what I saw.
You probably won't want to remember it.
By the way, I thought her fiancé
was a Captain at the frontline...
I can't remember anything.
Sleep over.
Goodness gracious.
Wait.
Oh, my.
Oh, no.
Where did
the son of a bitch go?
I need to exercise more.
What?
Yes, it's me.
What?
Oh, it's you.
Who were you expecting?
I wasn't expecting anyone.
Since I'm in someone else's room and in someone else's house,
I feel a bit anxious
and uncomfortable. So I couldn't sleep well.
You feel anxious and uncomfortable,
so you played the piano the whole night last night?
Did your mother tell you?
Well...
I had a lot going on in my mind.
When I feel depressed, I try to calm myself down with art.
That's my habit.
By the way, did you want to become a pianist?
I happened to learn about the dream you had as a little boy.
It's all in the past.
Then can I ask you one thing?
This is what I played last night.
Do you know what this song is?
I asked everyone who has quite some knowledge of music,
but no one knew it.
How do you know this song?
I heard someone playing it when I was traveling in Switzerland.
I loved the song, so I memorized it.
But I couldn't find whose song it was.
It was
a snowy place by a beautiful lake.
What was it called?
Iseltwald.
Yes, that's the name of the place.
How do you know that?
This is the song.
So you know it.
Who wrote this song? What's the title of it?
It was late afternoon.
And the place was all misty.
I was leaving Switzerland after hearing about my brother's death.
What do you mean?
I wrote the song for my brother,
and I played it by the lake for the first and the last time.
Are you saying
you are the person
who was playing the song that day?
How is this...
I can't believe this.
That day,
I was really lonely.
I truly
wished to die then.
I wanted to go to a beautiful place
and quietly disappear
so I didn't trouble anybody.
That's why I went there.
But you were...
there.
Even when
you didn't know it,
you saved my life.
Listen to me carefully.
Tomorrow,
you will go back home.
There was a suspicious car
using a temporary license plate
in the military village at that time, so we tracked the car.
And the car went toward Seojaegol and then disappeared.
That's where Director of the General Political Bureau lives.
So let's say that woman went there by that car.
Even so, we don't know if she's still there.
They might have killed her already.
The security officer working in Seojaegol
happens to be my college friend, so I did some research.
I heard there were cars coming in, but no cars have gone out yet.
Sir.
If you go there now, you can catch something huge.
Present arms.
The car behind this is with me. Let it pass too.
Yes, sir!
Hello, sir.
I have something urgent to discuss with you,
and I'm in front of your house now.
Do you have a moment?
I'm sorry I came so suddenly, sir.
I'm sure
you have a good reason.
We have met before, right?
Yes, sir.
We briefly met at Ri Jeong Hyeok's ward.
Right, we did.
How did the two of you come together?
He tipped me off
about something strange.
"Tipped off"?
He said a person wanted by the State Security Department
is hiding here.
I'm not sure whether I should believe him or not.
Are you saying
you want to search my house or something?
No way.
I wouldn't dare.
But if such a person is hiding here,
that person might harm you.
That would be terrible.
Thanks for worrying about me.
URGENT INVESTIGATION REQUEST
This is an urgent investigation request from the State Security Department.
I'm afraid we will have to search your house for a moment, sir.
This is just for the sake of formality.
Carry it out with utmost respect.
-Search. -Yes, sir!
Unbelievable.
An emergency switch?
An emergency switch, for goodness' sake.
I thought that the fact Captain Ri is the son of
Director of the General Political Bureau might somehow benefit us too,
as we're his subordinates.
Benefit, my foot. This is just shocking.
We were
supposed to be on duty next spring.
Hey.
We all got fooled by Captain Ri's lies.
Think about it.
If he was actually the son of the Director of the General Political Bureau,
why would he get shot on the street and put behind bars?
He probably told us lies based on his personal hope
that in his afterlife, he would like to be born as a son
of the Director of the General Political Bureau,
and we all got fooled by it.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Is there something you heard from Captain Ri?
So what favor did Jeong Hyeok ask of the Senior Colonel?
Jeong Hyeok said to my husband...
I would like to ask you for a favor.
Okay.
What is it?
Tell me.
I would like you to include my company in the emergency switch.
But it's cold winter now.
He asked him to deploy them at the frontline?
Frontline?
Has he lost his mind after his time in the detention center?
Why would he ask that?
Captain Ri will go to the frontline with Se-ri.
That's why he asked for the emergency switch.
What? What do you mean? Why do they go there?
She's going back to where she came from.
But that doesn't make any...
If he can bring her back in there somehow,
it isn't complete nonsense.
I guess you're right.
No others know that area better than us.
I mean, we guard the guard post too.
We search the area,
and Captain Ri is the officer in charge.
That area
is our area.
BORDER
DMZ NORTH ENTRANCE 1
I am glad that you are looking out for me,
but this should be enough.
The sun will set soon.
Of course.
It seems like I was given a false report.
You punk.
You scum!
Do you know where we are right now? What are you playing at?
That's enough.
Didn't Jeong Hyeok visit you?
Didn't he hide that woman?
Hey!
It seems like you haven't heard the news.
There has been an emergency company switch
due to a deserter at the frontline.
My son should be at the frontline right now as the captain of the company.
I had no idea.
-I apologize for our discourtesy, sir. -That's the place.
He went to the frontline
-to send that woman to the south. -Shut your mouth.
I know I am right.
There is a chance they entered the demilitarized zone.
I apologize, sir.
I will take care of him.
Drag him away.
Sir.
I didn't know there would be a village in the demilitarized zone.
People lived here before the war.
This house is in the best shape.
Come and sit down.
All right.
This isn't alcohol, but medicine.
It must have been made before 1953--
Master Sergeant Pyo.
Yes, sir.
Why is there a bowl on top of that crock?
It's a bowl for fresh water.
You mean the kind that was used for prayer?
Yes.
I think the person who lived here had a son who went off to war.
There are his photos in the room.
We never touch one of those bowls.
All of us have
a mother.
Your mother will be happy once you go back.
She must have waited for you.
I don't know.
Oh, you can see it from here.
See what?
Do you see that tiny mountain?
-Yes. -It's Mount Bukhan.
It's in Seoul, right?
Really?
Is it so close?
Even though it's so close,
we won't
see each other again, right?
Still,
you will see your mother.
I am jealous.
I am not that close with my mom.
You will be able to see your mom after being discharged.
Are you making fun of him?
He has nine years and seven months to go before discharge.
What?
Nine years and seven months?
That's a long time.
Eun Dong,
you must miss your mom a lot.
Yes.
I miss her. I am worried about her.
My hometown is colder than it is here.
I wonder if there is enough firewood.
I wonder if my siblings are eating well.
My youngest sibling
is weak,
so he gets sick often.
I am sure all of them are doing well.
Everyone, don't get hurt.
Make sure you eat well.
Stay healthy
and live well, okay?
You never know.
The two countries might suddenly reunify.
Stop talking nonsense. Live well when you go home.
If you come back again, I will...
I will bury you
at a mountain
or a river.
Suit yourself.
Bury me at a mountain or a river.
The sun
should set already.
That noisy woman can leave only when it's dark.
Mother, we need to call a locksmith. There is no master key either.
What brings you here?
Open the door.
The passcode is my birthday.
The day I almost died.
Mother, how did you know the passcode?
She is incredible. How does she know everything?
Maybe she can enter my house too.
Aren't you worried?
My goodness.
I wonder who had taken it from the auction in Hong Kong.
It was here.
I prepared coffee.
Thank you.
By the way,
what brings you here?
So you will list your company.
You must know that your brothers aren't doing so well.
Must you
do that?
My brothers and my dad have nothing to do with my company.
I founded it and raised it. Now, I will list it.
Mom.
It wasn't easy to get this far by myself. It was really hard.
No one asked you to do that.
I know exactly what you are playing at.
You want your father to see it
and realize that you are better than your brothers.
You want to get chosen. You want to take everything!
-Mom. -"Mom"?
If you let go of your greed,
we can have an easy relationship
like a real mother and a daughter.
It isn't greed.
It's my dream.
Do you think
you deserve that luxury?
Because of you,
my life is hell.
My goodness.
Mother, do you see this engraving?
Designer Jean Merritt passed away right after she signed an autograph.
This is the bag, Mother. My goodness.
Put it down.
-Okay. -Come on out.
-Right now? -Yes.
What are you doing?
We need to merge or take over Se-ri's Choice eventually.
These documents might help.
EXCELLENT COMPANY AWARD WOMAN CEO OF THE YEAR
Mother, isn't it you?
I think it is.
Take care.
Go back to your life as if nothing had happened.
You are in no position to worry about me.
Don't worry about me. I will be okay.
I have so much work waiting for me. I will get used to my old life in no time.
As always, I will earn and spend money well,
work diligently, and date men.
"Date men"?
Should I not do that?
Well,
it's up to you.
Didn't you say we should have
a post-breakup condolence period?
I believe it was six months.
I simply meant you should do it.
You told me to go back to my life.
I didn't tell you to go back to men.
You told me to do so as if nothing had happened.
I didn't tell you to cozy up to men.
Is a period of six months
enough?
Sure.
Okay.
For six months,
I will have a condolence period.
It was fate.
Think about it.
It's incredible that we met by chance in Switzerland
and then in North Korea.
What is it?
You can date men
and hang out with other people as if nothing had happened.
But
don't be lonely again.
Don't ever think about disappearing at a scenic place.
You have me.
You won't be by my side.
I won't be by your side,
but I will always hope
that you won't be lonely.
Be happy
until the end of your life.
I would be grateful if you do that.
How do you
reach the border from here?
If you go that way, you reach Yeokgok Stream.
There is a small boat.
People hid it to catch fish with grenades when the water level rises.
Then comes a mine-free path.
It's marked
with square granite rocks that are about 40cm tall.
There are no mines within the 10m radius.
If you walk down that path, you will reach the Southern Limit Line.
-It's not far from here. -That's right.
A round trip should take about an hour or two...
The hour is...
Dawn will break soon.
Why isn't he back yet?
Maybe he got lost.
No way.
What is it?
This is a wrong path.
Again?
We keep finding the wrong path.
I think I saw that place before.
The paths look alike, so...
Ri Jeong Hyeok.
Be honest with me.
-What? -You have no sense of direction, right?
Among us, Captain Ri is the best at finding the right direction
even in the dark.
Yes.
I am bad at finding the right direction
in the dark.
I am sorry.
The fact he hasn't come back yet means
he has either gotten into an accident...
-What? -What?
Or he wants to spend more time
with her.
-Right. -I see.
We are here.
We are finally here.
Do you see that tree over there?
Walk toward that tree.
That's the entrance of the South Korean search team.
The search team will do a round in the morning,
so ask them for help.
By any chance,
can you walk me there?
I can't take a single step
over this line.
Don't forget to keep your eyes on the rocks.
Jeong Hyeok,
don't forget about me.
I won't.
How would I forget about a woman who fell from the sky?
I didn't fall.
I descended.
Sure.
I will get going now.
A single step
should be okay.
I can't believe him.
All the books are dark and difficult.
I LOVE YOU
RI JEONG HYEOK
I LOVE YOU RI JEONG HYEOK
